As a curator, writer and critic, Béatrice Josse develops multidisciplinary programmes at the crossroads of the visual arts, performance, dance, writing and design.

She trained simultaneously in law and art history, and her career has led her to rethink curatorial forms as much as institutions and collections.

As director of the 49 Nord 6 Est Frac Lorraine in Metz, she initiated a remarkable collection focusing on immateriality, performance and reactivation, which was widely diffused in Europe and Latin America. A pioneer in questioning gender, she helped to feminise the collection and to accompany the programming of international artists with events rooted in the region (festivals, critics’ residencies, scientific and philosophical conferences, etc.).

At the MAGASIN des horizons in Grenoble, from 2016 to 2021 she introduced collective, performative and vernacular artistic practices that could prove to be therapeutic for the institution.

Her research is now focusing on more collective practices linking art/science/ecology/society, education and transmission in art schools and elsewhere (HEAR Mulhouse, Laboratoire Cerveau Villeurbanne, Scène nationale de Bar le Duc, etc.).
